DVD Player Compatibility Chart for KVCD Formats

kvcd.net Archives · #1 08-06-2014, 08:47 PM

Below is a list of DVD players that have been confirmed to work with KVCDs, as based on information submitted by site members who have actually tested the players.

Resolution notes:

KVCDx3 is defined as 528×480 (NTSC) and 528×576 (PAL).
KVCDx3A is defined as 544×480 (NTSC) and 544×576 (PAL).

Also understand that this is not a complete list of all KVCD-compatible players. There are probably many VCD, DVD and Blu-ray players out there capable of playing KVCD, SKVCD (KSVCD), and KDVD encoded video discs. When in doubt, use one of the official KVCD or KDVD test discs to see if your player will support the videos.
